Mine didn't come out nearly as pretty as Culinary Queen's photo, but it was still pretty good. I found the apple part to be a little too sweet and would only use 1 tsp of sugar only, I also added cinnamon and was glad I did. The whole thing tastes a little like an apple omlete. With having to cook the apple first and seperating the eggs etc. This is a little fussy for a dessert for one if you just want a little something sweet - next timeI'd just eat the apple.

Photo Tag Game ~ This was good and fairly easy to put together. This would make a nice light dessert for after a dinner party. Definitely a dessert that should be eaten while still warm. Thanks MM!
